Belt Grinder D-Backing plate for 2×72″ knife making grinder with wheels & mounting bracket – Aluminum

Features

Deeper reach for slack belt grinding

• D-shaped backing plate for flat platen assembly, this one with even deeper reach for slack belt grinding (inferior products from others who try to imitate us have just about zero depth for slack belt grinding because they try to use as little as possible material to cut corners & save money).
• The plate is precision cnc cut from 1/2″ aircraft aluminum.
• Wheel mounting holes are 1/2-13 precision tapped to ensure that axles are perpendicular to the plate.
• The center mounting hole is 1/2″ diameter, the slots for a flat platen mounting bracket are 1/4″ wide & 6″ apart, the u-shaped adjusting slot accepts a 3/8″ bolt or stud.
• The axle holes are 10.5″ center to center apart; you can easily mount an 8″ long by 2-1/2″ wide flat platen between the wheels for a large grinding surface.
• We include 2 grade 8 bolts, 3,5″ long, 1/2-13 thread, with 4 nylon spacers, 2 1/2″ washers & 2 half-nyloc nuts.
• With this listing we also include two of our 2″ diameter, 2-1/4″ wide top quality cnc turned tracking wheels with bearings (look at the puny little bearings in the wheels of some who copy us, cheap!).
• We also include the platen mounting bracket & hardware, easily bolt a platen of your choice to the bracket (see our available platen listings).
• The bracket is laser cut out of 3/16″ steel. It is +- 8″ long & 2″ wide.
• The mounting holes are all 1/4″ diameter; the ones on the front are 6″ center to center.
• This bracket is much more rigid than pieces of angle iron commonly found on most amateur built grinders, it looks better too!
• These are the same parts that we use on our popular 2×72″ belt grinders.
